    Leave this one up. Everyone recommends no more than 30 days for these things. People hit at beginning and end- that's it. PR unless its some serious main steam magazine or TV means nothing. Keep this one going.

    I heard Rikki Von Rokken is interested too. If they can figure out what strip club he is hiding out in.

    Things are happening thanks to you!

    That seems to be the mantra right now- because they are. 

    I can't say much only to say all the pay pal donations have helped more than you will ever know. Because of them we are able to do Stupid For Movie reviews (More on the way!) start planning season 2 of Stupid For Dexter, fix our ceiling and talk to web designers so we can really do this right to attract sponsors.

    Even more than that, I have been working on a new business model to make the most out of this ground breaking network.

    We refuse to go away, but without money we can't possibly do all we want to continue to blur the lines between the web and "legit" TV.

    Web series, events and shows continue to struggle to gain legitimacy and revenue. But we know with your help we can be one of the pioneers that people can look back on and thank. 

    Our PayPal donation button is up! And we'd appreciate anything you can give. All the money goes back into the network to not only make the best shows possible- to to make sure those shows earn revenue so you can continue to enjoy them. 

    And you also get your name up on our web site!

    Again, thank you for believing in us!

    New Stupid For Movies reviews (Planet of the Apes and Change-Up) thanks to your donations!

    Many of you have moved your pledges from here to our paypal donation at http://streamingarage.com/patrons. We can't thank you enough! So we started a "Patron" system - much like a local theater does we want to thank those who donate to "the arts"

    And thanks to your donations, we were able to have Devin and Amy come in and do a few reviews for us! We are also having a handy man look at fixing our ceiling and talking to some web design people which will hep build up our site and allow us to bring in sponsors!  Obviously both are very costly and so far we only have 1/7th of what was pledged here.

    As you see, as long as we can get a little something, we can continue to do shows. So if you can donate even as little as $1 it really does help to fix things and pay the crew! But please enjoy these new reviews courtsey of Amy Nicholson from Box Office Magazine and Devin Feraci from "Bad Ass Digest"

    (And if you did want to donate click this link and simply hit "donate" http://streamingarage.com/patrons)

    Thank you. We are far from done.

    I wanted to thank all of you for your pledges to Streamin' Garage. I also wanted to assure you that this is NOT the end of Streamin' Garage. If anything this just strengthens my resolve to give you the best, smartest, funniest, snarkiest programming on the web or TV.

    As you know we didn't make our goal so we get NOTHING. Which also means you weren't charged. If you are still interested in helping us with the evolution of TV or as I like to call it our self - funded "commune of creativity"  we have set up a pay pal account. Money donated will go toward paying the crew, developing future shows, fixing our ceiling :) and updating our web site to attract sponsors.

    You can find the Pay Pal link here: http://www.streamingarage.com

    Streamin' Garage is all about you. So please keep telling us what you want to see, what you like and what you don't like by keeping the discussion going on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/StreaminGarage

    I look forward to developing more programming and talking to all of you in the live chat room!

        Mike, you are the best and we are now proud supporters of you on your PayPal page. We urge everyone who pledged here at Kickstarter support Streamin' Garage by heading to the PayPal page and giving even more than you pledged. We had pledged $25 here, and are proud to say we've doubled that in our PayPal donation. Hope you all do the same!

    Stupid For Movies- last episode? Don't let Sarah Palin win!

    Mark and Amy review the latest Sarah Palin film as well as Cowboys and Aliens, Attack the Block and Crazy Stupid Love.

    Without our show, who will review Palin like this?
